Re: Help installing and copy plug-ins

See this topic for installing Audacity on a Mac: http://forum.audacityteam.org/viewtopic.php?f=47&t=75660 Then, before installing any plug-ins, check that Audacity is working correctly with no error messages. Once that part is correct, installing plug-ins should be straightforward, but you will ...

Re: Buzz noise at beginning of vocal after you export

I did try to export the orginals twice but the issus still exists. and it's very strange that there are no other reports of this problem, and we are not able to reproduce it. If we are to make headway solving the problem I think you will need to give us step by step instructions so that we can prod...

Re: Using audacity for a live electronic show?

I would still like to know if all this can be done within 1 audacity or 1 audacity for each song? Sadly, neither. Audacity can only access one playback device at a time with a maximum of 2 audio channels. If you want to use Linux, use your favourite search engine to check support for your multi-cha...

Re: Suggested improvement for Mute/Solo controls

Thanks for the suggestion. 1. At the moment there is no easy way to hear only the current track (under the cursor). Try setting the Solo button behaviour to "Simple" in "Edit > Preferences > Tracks" There is also the shortcut Shift+S to Solo the "current" track (the tra...

Re: ALAC info missing / confusing!

I don't know if it's different on Linux, but on Windows (for LAME and FFmpeg) you can include spaces in tags by quoting the tag That's what should happen, but it didn't work for me on Linux. Possibly a minor bug. It works fine at the command line, but in Audacity FFmpeg complains because it thinks ...

You can explicitly add metadata with something like:

Code: Select all

ffmpeg -i - -acodec alac -metadata title=my_title "%f"
but note that a limitation is that the metadata cannot include spaces.

Re: modified silence marker to insert more silence

So you're saying that you want the leading silence to not extend and the trailing silence to be extended?
or that you want all silences to be extended?

Re: UNDO cancels the view???

es, I was expecting the view to stick, not revert There's a balance to be reached between putting too much and not enough on the History. In Gimp, almost everything goes onto the History - change the visibility of a layer and that goes on the history. Sometimes I find it too much: "all I want ...
